That is cool, Tsukiyumi. Ah, the cosmic ballet.

Nice pickup, Tsukiyumi. Astronomy of this nature never ceases to amaze me.

That's really rather odd... I wonder if there's a Pepsi galaxy out there somewhere...

Our own galaxy will be involved in an enormous collision with the Andromeda galaxy in 2.5 billion years. It's possible our own sun will be ejected into intergalactic space during this process.

I'll make a note in my diary.

I'm just going to try to find a good seat.

If anyone (human or otherwise) is around to see it, it should be quite a show. As Andromeda approaches, it's spiral arms will begin to fill up the sky.

I agree. I'd love to see it. I remember learning about that when I was a kid, and wished I could at least see what it would look like.

Well since the crash will take several hundred Million years to happen I might just pop in every now and again to see how its going.

That was my plan as well.

It would be pretty cool to suddenly have a neighbor planet with a friendly humanoid population.

That would fly past you pretty fast. Once you jumped on you'd never be able to come back

Is it known if Dark Matter extends into the Heliosphere?
